After two months in Cobville of intense learning, building and living with a great group of fellow apprentices, teachers, mountain homeys and passres through, the reality of another world has hit me. I'm home in Holland, with electronic post, mobile phones bills and other things I didn't miss in Cobville. Keeping my perspective on how I want to live is at times mind boggling. I hope to post my agenda soon for the coming building season. I'm working on a European Natural building Colloquiom in 2009 with a theme of Bringing rituals back into contemporary buildings. I hope to invite Vernacular builders from Africa to share their experience with us and to propagate an international building network of with vernacular traditions and rituals. Any help along the way is welcome. I hope that the 2007 apprentices, Ianto, Linda , Paul all the guest teachers and Mountain Homeys are in good health and high spirits. I want to thank you all for your wisdom, inspiration and love. Hope to see you in the near future! Peace and Blessings, Christo p.s. Herman is alive and kicking happy to be home and putting out what it takes to make good bread!
